Lens tryout - Carl Zeiss 135mm f1.8, Minolta 50mm f1.7, Minolta 24mm f2.8

Last Friday, we had a TT session to meet and greet new Alpha users in KK. That's where I tried the Carl Zeiss 135mm f1.8 which belongs to a teacher teaching in Telupid. It's heavy, but it can be hold when mounted on Nex using one hand. Photo wise, I'll let you be the judge.

24mm, f2.8, 1/50, iso 1600. The wideness is just nice. Equivalent to almost 35mm on APS-C cameras.

After I missed out on getting the Sony 50mm f1.4 the other day(due to some problems of the seller), I tried the 50mm f1.8 version. As this is a SAM lens, it can do AF on my Nex.

I was poisoned! And later that night, I brought that lens back with me. Hehe. On the other hand, I didn't use the 55200 SAM lenses much nowadays, so I tried to shoot something at the back of my rented house. Photos here were cropped!







Last but not least, I bought a new mobile snapper. It's due time for me to upgrade to a new phone, main reason was Android! Will blog about that later.
